And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. (Acts 16:27, 28 KJV) THE POWER OF HUMILITY (PART I) When the earthquake caused the prison doors to open, Paul and Silas humbled themselves by refusing to take their freedom and run. In response, the jailer fell trembling before them and asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Never underestimate the power of a humble heart to influence others for the LordÑespecially your children! We often feel like we have to prove we are right or have everything figured out to gain their respect. We tend to see vulnerability as weakness. However, when we are confident of who we are in Christ, it is much easier to demonstrate humility. Modeling humility will be much more influential to your kids than hiding behind a false sense of self-sufficiency and perfection.
